Lately I have been making some changes around my apartment. From buying new furniture to new hand towels to kitchen appliances to wall decor, I have been in need of a refresh. One last thing I do want to change up is my duvet cover. It is a soft green and blue paisley print from Pottery Barn that I got almost 9 years ago. Although I love it, I think it is time for a new one. When it comes to duvet covers, and decorating in general, I tend to gravitate towards light shades of blue, green and white, with a splash of pink and yellow. After searching a little I have found a few that I am liking. Not sure if and when I will end up buying a new duvet cover, but hopefully soon. Here are my top 10 choices thus far.

A Cozy Night In
With very little research I am much convinced that my spirit animal is a bear. Because I too love to hibernate during the winter. It’s been a little chilly here in New York and I am preparing myself for many cozy nights in. I am what you would call an ambivert. I exhibit qualities of someone who is both extroverted and introverted. I love to go out and be social and can talk to anyone about anything. I like a good party and being with friends and family. But, I also really love to stay home alone and have no problems with staying in for an entire weekend, not socializing with anyone. I can also go places alone (and have); movies, restaurants, parties, events, etc. I am both outgoing and shy. A woman of mystery……. which personality are you going to get today? Stay tuned to find out.
Serena & Lily Friends and Family Event
Well it’s been a semi bummer of a week. At the end of September I decided that I would be moving out of my apartment and into a studio apartment by November 1st. After looking religiously, or as one of the brokers told me I was “extra hyper”, about looking at apartments I have come to terms that this isn’t the right time to move. Some of the brokers I went through, my own boss, and a good friend of mine who is a broker here in New York, said this is a terrible time to move. That no one is moving out because of the holidays and nothing is available around my budget. Instead I have decided to stay in my current 3 bedroom apartment. I really can’t complain, I do love my apartment and the location. I am just ready to be back on my own. Especially since I work from home, it’s nice to have peace and quiet at all times. I also used to live in a studio apartment in Gramercy before I moved back home to Ohio, which I was obsessed with. I have all of this furniture just sitting in my parents basement waiting for me to use again. I can’t wait to have all of my stuff back with me! My goal is to now move at the beginning of February or March! Fingers crossed! Of course another part of me wants to rent an Airbnb in Charleston for the duration of November and December…..probably won’t happen, but a girl can dream right.
